Goldbach's conjecture: the open problem that every even integer greater than two is the sum of two primes. Claims about its truth, proof attempts, verified computational ranges, conditional or partial results (e.g. Chen's theorem, ternary Goldbach), and equivalent reformulations belong here.

Every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes.
SupportedThe evidence favors the claim, but the examination is incomplete or the evidence is indirect.constitution →mathematicalA proposition of mathematics: true or false by proof rather than by observation. Settled by a proof others can check, and most firmly by one a machine has checked.constitution →Number theoryimportance · notableImportance 0.50, from 0 to 1 · notable: a contested point in a live debate (also the default before judging). Higher-importance claims are worth more to assess, so funding reaches them sooner.constitution →
The number of representations of an even number as a sum of two primes tends to infinity as the number tends to infinity.

Goldbach's conjecture has been verified by computation for all even numbers up to 4 × 10^18.

Almost all even numbers are the sum of two primes, in the sense that the exceptional set has density zero.

Every sufficiently large even number is the sum of a prime and a number with at most two prime factors.
